Temporaries: The Key to Success

Basil Mizrahi teaches this separately bookable three-day module within Full Arch Dentistry. It focuses on reliable provisional restorations as a working part of treatment planning and delivery, rather than simply a short-term cover.

Programme and exercises

• Use early, stable chairside temporaries to maintain control during complex treatment and improve soft-tissue conditions for impressions and scans.
• Compare PMMA, bisacryl, laboratory-made provisionals and chairside techniques.
• Make an anterior PMMA temporary and a three-unit posterior PMMA bridge; fit anterior shell temporaries and remarginate for fit and contour.
• Shape embrasures in splinted provisionals and make a putty matrix and bisacryl veneer temporaries.
• Improve retention and strength, repair or modify restorations, and manage debonding or fracture without unnecessary remakes.
